The Backrooms was deeply something. I don’t think it was merely about backroom office spaces from 90’s era (which I frequented a lot when I was a kid) or about /noclip in video games (which I also did a lot as a kid), though it used those as the vehicle for its real message.

Just read a science paper about cutting fluids for drilling steel. Cutting fluid does three jobs, it cools the piece, lubricates the piece, and carries debris away. Basic cutting fluid achieved the best balance, high end was faster but rougher, liquid nitrogen was slower AND rougher.

i think one big factor (among many) as to why AI has had such a foothold in coding spaces is because the majority of people dont consider programming to be art

What if studies didn’t write abstracts and introductions in the same style as clickbait summaries? Too often a study is so excited about itself in its abstract that you think its world shattering and then in the conclusion it says “.27” and “not statistically significant” and “less than 50 samples”.

I was pretty peeved at Ed Sheeran for being a coward. I listened to one of his songs out of curiosity. And now I want him dead.

Cleaning the garage, finding all sorts of little doodads, parts of things someone saved “just in case” that are now long unidentifiable as to what they originally came off of. Is this spare parts from furniture, a car, what even is it? Who knows!

Kiddo has learned about gambling with rock paper scissors and is now trying to hustle. It’s like that episode of Bob’s Burgers.

I was talking to kiddo and she just kinda looked at me funny and said “you have a lot of jobs right now”. Even the kid knows I take on too much stuff lolol

It’s interesting having a kiddo with reasonable expectations. Her chocolate milk preferences are normal reasonable levels of chocolate, unlike my preference which is to have it be 99% chocolate syrup.

me: “righty tighty, lefty loosey”” makes no sense actually, there’s no ‘right’ or ‘left’ when describing motion around a circumference, much clearer to say ‘clockwise’ or ‘counterclockwise’ them: you are literally insane also them: no the other left

I have a virtual boy with three games that I’m looking to give away to someone who can fix it. It’s the typical ribbon cable issue, it’s a routine repair with videos available about how to do it, but it requires finer soldering than my hand can do. Any game nerds want a repair project?

The primate gathers charred sticks from the fire pit and dumps them into the river. They clap their hands and return to their cave. Entering, they place a hand on the wall and notice they’ve left an ashy handprint. The primate (now with worm-in-a-rock god on their head) calls to the family, and leads the others down to their cave. The family reacts less excitedly to the hand print than the primate and worm-in-a-rock god are to show it off. Inside the cave, worm-in-a-rock god, the primate, and the family are gathered and sooty. They are looking at hand prints they each made on the wall.

🔇 🔇 🔇 My book, Deep Unlearning, is now available for preorders! I don't know how people write so many books because this one took a lot out of me. It turns out, I had a lot to say 😂, with editors cutting out 50k of my words 🫣 ✴️ You can now preorder it at www.simonandschuster.com/books/Deep-U....
Cover of my new book, Deep Unlearning: The Rise of AI and The Radicalization of a Tech Idealist. 

There are two concentric circles in the book, the left being circuits in black an white, and the right being a bunch of dots with orange accents. The cover background is cream. And the words are written in black except for "Un" which is in orange.

The six year old was reading pathfinder book, reading about Cayden Cailean, aka The Accidental God, aka The Drunken God. And she just says “67”, and I bust up laughing and was like “you’re right, Cayden Cailean is totally a 67 bro”.

I think one of the coolest things about learning how to do fire dancing is that it’s inspired others to want to learn too. If a 40 something half deaf trans gal with no dance experience and a sprained toe can do it, then so can everyone else!

My guts are not being agreeable. Did I eat something I’m allergic to? Did that salad on Friday get me? Did I just drink coffee too fast? I don’t know, but I feel like I might be dying.

They should make more music with bass so loud you can hear it with your feet. Like hit that boom so loud the vibrations shake the ground and the neighbors wonder if a gas main just blew. Fuckin bass so loud it will collapse weak structures. Bass so loud it splits the atom. Gimme that boom.

The only reliable way to detect AI when you see it is to be so incredibly online you learn its patterns, which as it turns out carries some downsides of its own.

I ate a salad today. It was at a county fair. It was the only food I could find that didn’t have ingredients I’m allergic to. Let’s hope I didn’t choose poorly.

I’ve been ripping apart a hot tub most of today with the help of the six year old. They are quite encouraging, and ask lots of smart questions. We discussed electricity, chemistry, wood working, metalworking, safety, and we smashed things with hammers.

Commission at minimum level of “done”. There is more I would like to do to it if I had the time and resources, but I don’t think I do have the time and resources, so I may have to accept art going out the door that isn’t as good as I could do if I had more time and resources.

Today’s shot was barely a success. My muscles are so tense the needle wouldn’t go in, bent the first needle before I could get it deep enough so had to try a new needle and still couldn’t get it full depth so some of the E leaked out. Fucking annoying. Two jabs for half a dose basically. Whatever.

After further analysis, I’m pretty sure the reason my foot hurts is a sprained toe. I don’t know when it happened. I stubbed my toe really bad before the last festival but it felt fine through the entire festival, and through most of this week.
